Talk:Classic Gaming Library

Status

Our main tasks currently are testing of the game consoles, and removal of non-CGL and excessive items (stuff we have too much of). There is currently a station setup with 2 LCD TVs, and one computer for testing. The TV's both have switches attached to them ( the Console equivelent of a KVM), and older consoles using RF transmitters can be daisy chained.

Josytic testing has mostly been done for USB devices, but there are probably a few that we missed. Non USB devices will need to be tested using a converter (which we have many of). Controllers for consoles still need to be tested. Newer ones we have USB adapters for, so they can be tested on the computer (PS1,N64,XBOX). Older ones might be a bit harder to test quickly.
